Run report 9i from form builder 9i

Dear all,
I build report from report builder 9i.
How to run this report in form builder 9i.
Best regards,
Jansen Hutagalung.

Jansen,
I really like short questions, but yours missing the point. What do you mean by running Reports from Forms builder? Do you mean how to run it from a Forms application started from Forms builder? There is a Whitepaper in teh collateral section of otn.oracle.com/products/forms that immediately makes you an expert in Forms/Reports integration

  • Run form from form builder

    Hi,
    I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
    So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
    Thanks in advance.

    As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
    /* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
    DECLARE
       UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
    BEGIN
       IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
          -- Execute Apps built-ins...
          APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
       END IF;
       -- Perform the rest of your processing here
    END;Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

    HI,
    I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
    I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
    When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
    HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
    The Link used for the above is:
    http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
    The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
    I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
    I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
    http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
    But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
    ie Program-->Run Form
    The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
    Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
    Thanks
    V.S.

    One of our DBAs has installed the software.
    It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
    Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
    Do i need to configure something ?
    Thanks,
    V.S.

  • OC4J service startup & running form from forms builder

    Hello everybody,
    I have installed Oracle 9i database and Oracle 9i DS on my personal Computer. (O.S. is Windows XP) . Now if I want to run any form from Forms builder I have to everytime start the OC4J service, from oracle-home\j2ee\oracle9i DS\startinst.bat
    How to eliminate this? Is there any way to automate this procedure? so that everytime when I open the forms builder, it will automatically start this service or run this bat file.
    Or any other way to overcome this prob?
    regards
    achchani

    Hi,
    unfortunately the answer is no. If you search the Internet you may find lik of how to make bat execution a Windows Service

  • Running form from Forms Builder with IE

    Forms 11.1.1.4, IE 8, Windows 7 64-bit.
    1. Running form from Forms Builder with IE results in Page cannot be displayed. My Java console doesn't even appear so it's not getting to the servlet part.
    2. Running same form stand-alone in IE works fine. The URLs are identical (I've cut/pasted them)
    3. Running same form from Forms Builder with Firefox works fine. The only change I made was to the runtime preference for the browser location.
    Seems like this has to be something to do with the browser configuration that only occurs from Forms Builder. What could it be?

    I'm not sure about the specifics of your configuration but I suspect the answer is in formsweb.cfg (and the associated .env file).
    I think that generally the configuration that runs for formbuilder is the "default" whereas you could be specifying a different
    one on the url not going through formbuilder. (but if you're using em then it's really hard to know what's going on since it seems
    to not write changes back to the config and env files until it is stopped. This caused me many days of confusion until I figured it out and
    that's why I would highly advise never using it to modify .config or env settings.)
    check what jre is installed in ie (tools, manage addons, there is on my machine:
    java 2 plugin ssv helper and JQSIEStartDetectorImpl browser helper object.
    Not sure which one or both is necessary.
    Have your url be a trusted site, unblock it from popup blockage, and most of all stare at your formsweb.cfg default section. It would help
    if you specified what was in the url. do you have config=X in there?

  • Browser blank when running a form from forms builder ??

    Hi,
    I am trying to run a form from forms builder.
    I have a form , compiles, and when I run the form nothing comes up in my browser.
    my browser is completely blank.
    I am running everything on my local machine.
    the steps I took.
    - downloaded jinit.exe, installed it.
    - started the OC4j
    - restarted my browser
    - then connect to my DB from forms builder - connects fine
    - Run the form
    but nothing is coming up when i run my form.
    I even restarted my machine and still nothing.
    What am I missing ??
    Thanks,

    This is a fairly common question. If you have the Jnit installed and OC4J running, then I would suggest you add the directory where your FMX is located to the FORMS_PATH in the 'DEFAULT.ENV' file located in the %DEVSUITE_HOME%/forms/server directory. The FORMS_PATH variable defines the SEARCH Path for Forms Applications so Forms can find your .FMX and .PLX files.
    You could also modify the URL and specify the Form='your_form_name.fmx', but I prefer adding the directory to the FORMS_PATH so I don't have to add FORMS="" for each different form I'm working on.
    Hope this helps,

  • 4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

    Hi Friends,
    I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
    My application basically consists of
    Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
    Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
    Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
    My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
    Please help and advise on:
    How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
    How to overcome the stated migration problem
    Rgds,
    Luther

    Dear Mark:
    I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
    Rgds,
    Luther

  • How to make a .exe from form builder?

    Hi,there:
    How can i make a .exe from form builder which can run without form builder?

    Hi,
    You can try to create a batch-file. For instance on WinNT create a CMD file. On Win95/98 create a batch file.
    In that you can use (depending on where you've installed forms/ reports)
    D:\orant\binf50run32.exe <user>/<password>@<database> <startform>.fmx
    Hope this helps

  • Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

    Hi!!
    I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
    We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

  • How to display a Report 9i from Forms if the Report has a Parameter Form?

    Hi,
    could some one please post me a code sample to show how to call a (paper layout, RDF) Report from Forms if I would like it to display the Report's parameter form first?
    Thank you in advance.
    Tamas Szecsy
    I used the following code segment do achieve the job, but I get "REP-546: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_ALAL is not among the selectable values" message, even though I would like to specify the P_ALAL value on the report's parameter Form.
    declare
    paramlist_id ParamList;
    tmp_riport_name varchar2(200);
    report_id          report_object;
    report_job_id varchar2(200);
    tmp_id number;
    begin
    -- init
    tmp_riport_name := null;
              -- parameter list
    paramlist_id := get_parameter_list('mytmp_params');
    if not id_null(paramlist_id) then
    destroy_parameter_list(paramlist_id);
    end if;
    paramlist_id := Create_Parameter_List('mytmp_params');
    add_parameter( paramlist_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES' );
              -- call report
    report_id := find_report_object( 'DUMMY' );
    if report_id.id is null then
         return;
    end if;
    -- display
    set_report_object_property( report_id, report_execution_mode, runtime );
    set_report_object_property( report_id, report_comm_mode, synchronous );
    set_report_object_property( report_id, report_destype, 'preview' );
    set_report_object_property( report_id, report_desformat, 'PDF' );
    set_report_object_property( report_id, report_server, 'rep_geoias' );
         set_report_object_property( report_id, report_filename, :ALAP_REPORTS_NAME||'.rep' );
    report_job_id := run_report_object( report_id, paramlist_id );
    tmp_id := to_number(substr( report_job_id, length(name_in('rep_geoias'))+2 ));
    web.show_document( '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||tmp_id||'?server=rep_geoias', '_blank' );
    END;

    I think you specified report object name incorrect.
    in command line:
    repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT1');
    Report1 must be name of report object in Form Builder.
    However to call report from Oracle Form you must do more work. For example:
    - Create report server name
    - Adding some code to set property for report object base on report server you created.
    Cheer!

  • Accessing clustered report servers from Forms

    Hi
    The "Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 11g R2 (11.1.2)" manual in Section 2.5 talks about setting up a High Availability environment for Reports.
    It discusses how to set the cluster configuration and how to create a reports job repository in the database. It says that you need to have a unique name for each report server, finally it says that you should use Oracle Web Cache to load balance for the reports cluster.
    If you are calling the report server from Forms with a run_report_object then you don't go via the web cache, so I am confused how you send your report request to the reports cluster in a load balanced fashion.
    Has anyone done this or can explain how this works for Forms?
    TIA
    Tony

    I know that this is an old thread, but I've taken the liberty to bump it up, as I have the same question.
    The Reports documentation describes quite succinctly how to configure the report servers to be clustered - no problem there.
    The issue is that when you run a report from forms using run_report_object, you are required to specify a report server name. The Reports docs specify that all of the server names must be unique, so this seems to indicate that you cannot use a clustered report server environment from Forms, or am I missing something somewhere? Oh, wait - an insight coming here - Can you (I'll test this, but it would be good to know) specify a cluster name instead of an actual report server name? Google to the rescue:
    Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT: If the call specifies a Reports Server cluster name instead of a Reports Server name, the reports_servermap environment variable must be set in the Oracle Forms Services default.env file. If your Oracle Forms application uses multiple Reports Server cluster names, you can map each of those cluster names to a different Reports Server using reports_servermap in rwservlet.properties, as follows:
    There's the answer. Sometimes writing the question down helps figure out the answer :)

  • Broken URL in executing forms from Form Builder (10g)

    From Form Builder I'm trying to execute a form "opened".
    I push "Run Form" button and i can see Explorer opening with a wrong URL :
    "http://%%20http://127.0.0.1:3696/4gjkr8swXxZKBJppfymDMZmBSac7cACualcFLIa3Vgsk6hmm"
    Obviously, "http://%%20" are wrong characters. If I erase them, I can see my form correctly executed. But I can't understand where are wrong characters .. in registry ?? ... in a configuration file ??
    From Form Builder, i can only change the "Application Url" from Preferences/Runtime tab, but this is the "second" URL, and not the First startup Url.
    Any helps ?

    See Metalink Note 238159.1 for several solutions and/or workarounds for this problem.

  • Browser size when launched from Forms Builder

    Hi, Does anyone know how to set the size of the IE browser when launched from Forms Builder? I have set the width and height setting to 100% so that the applet takes up all the browser space, however the browser is still not as large as I'd like.
    When I start IE on its own, it opens in the desired size, it's only when running it from Forms Builder that it's too small. I've searched on the net, but nothing seems to work, there must be a setting specific to Forms?
    Thanks
    Sam

    If you are using SeparateFrame = True, then you might try using these in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
    set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
    set_window_property('Your_Main_Window', window_state, maximize);
    If you are not using SeparateFrame = True, then you may have to use JavaScript in the page where your applet is located. Javascript can also go in your formsweb.cfg file. See:
    HTMLbeforeForm=<script>....</script>
    or
    HTMLafterForm=<script>....</script>
